The Letter F is Fun!

Francy Fish is the Zoophonics animal that starts with /f/. Our bodies had things that started with F: fingers, feet and face. We found /f/ foods in our snacks: Fruit and fish. We heard F words as we did our calendar: four, five and Friday. We said and did the actions to the poem: I'm a Little Fishy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeQy94L_rPs Listen to the Story Bots; they found some /f/ words too:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8e_Oh314Ds

We know the sound for Mm!

The children heard lots of words that start with m-m-m-m when they watched these videos. See how many you can name when the video is over. Maybe you can find a mini marshmallow to eat for each M word they say? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kk8zEeD47qw(link is external)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGbncOU3qlc
